Your tree is magnificent Shirley and wonderful lit at night! I’d need a cherry picker to lift me high enough to decorate the top of it 🙂 Of course I adore your wonderful screen with your white and silver leaf studded garland…*sigh*… Your home is full of Christmas Cheer~ love the Byers’ Carolers too!Mary’s recent post…Decking The Halls in The Potting Shed

OMG Shirley, I can’t believe all you have done. You go all out girl, it looks like you need a rest. It is all just beautiful:) I know what you mean about climbing up and down the ladder we normally get a 25 foot tree and it takes forever to get all those ornaments in place.

Omigoodness, Shirley, you’ve created a winter wonderland! I have to look at your photos again and again to take it all in. What amazes me is how beautifully it all goes together. I’m afraid my taste is so eclectic that I. All over the place! I hope you have time to just sit and enjoy the beauty you have created.Linda’s recent post…Transitioning to Another Holiday

Fabulous decorating Shirley! That would keep Max busy for DAYS! I can’t decorate this year, he’s way too excitable. Good thing since my shed is snowed in and I don’t want to dig it out to get at my Christmas stuff anyway.

OMGosh, Shirley! The elves certainly have been busy at your house. So much inspiration! I just kept going back to each photo to look at all you’ve done. I had to smile, because I have a big nutcracker standing beside our grandfather clock, too. Haven’t taken many photos yet. Hopefully, the sun will be out today…better for pic taking indoors.
Thanks again for all the inspiration.

Your home is always decorated to the nines for Christmas…very festive indeed. Now sit down and enjoy your masterpiece. You hit the nail on the head when you said “as simple as this person gets”! Beautiful!

Your great room looks fantastic, Shirley! I love how you decorated your fireplace. Love your carolers! I have a thing for them, too, and picked up a few on clearance last year at Christmas Tree Shop. I saw Joann’s had some this year {when I was in there earlier this week} and if they have any left on sale I’m going to get a few more.Kathy @ Creative Home Expressions’s recent post…Giveaway Day 4

Shirley, your tree is stunning along with all of your other decorations! I’m hoping a magazine comes along and wants to show it all!

Shirley,
You’ve done it again…so amazing! I cannot imagine how busy you must have been when you got home from Florida and did you hang all those ornaments on that tall tree yourself? That looks scary up there! Love seeing the basket under the tree and knowing that it “went to a good home”! That cotton wreath is still one of my favorites ever 🙂Kristen’s recent post…The Scoop On Creating a Handmade Christmas – Embellishing Christmas Gifts
